Paraguay are definitely the weakest side left in the competition. Expected more from the Japanese, they got quite a few opportunities from set plays, where they are strong, but couldn't take them.

  'Rope a dope' backfired for the Japanese.

Poor game so far...first proper chance there with missed header. Torres is really off colour.

Has been a better 0-0 than the last game

Playing Busquets and Alonso in the same team won't unlock this Portuguese defence, surely Del Bosque must realise this? For once the pundits are correct, width is what is needed here, this game is calling out for Navas, Silva, Pedro or Mata. They need to exploit the space left by Ronaldo and get the ball to Villa as they can't handle his pace.

I am amazed by Seedorf's standard of English, absoluely fluent for someone who has played in Spain & Italy for years.

Loads of Dutch and Germans are fluent by their early teens.

i don't know that any game is ever crying out for Mata tbh, but i know what you're saying.  I think portugal are going to nick it.

Eduardo is a special goalie for Portugal, plays for Braga!

To be honest the Spanish aren't up to much. They will be knocked out by the first good team they meet. They will go the way of England if they get to play Argentina ir Germany in the semis.
